Chemical Spreadsheets blog post
A 2008 blog post by Richard L. Apodaca at US company Metamolecular.com on free and not free Chemical Spreadsheets at:
http://depth-first.com/articles/2008/09/12/your-favorite-chemical-spreadsheet
From the post:
"A chemical spreadsheet displays multiple chemical structures in a regular arrangement (typically grids or rows) for the purpose of manipulating them in the same ways as text and numerical data can be manipulated in spreadsheet applications like Excel (sorting, performing calculations, charting, editing, etc.)."

CDS - new databases
From CDS announcement email:
Three specialist databases from Accelrys are now available from Chemical Database Service.
They are:
* BioCatalysis - Synthesis using Enzymes and Micro organisms
* Protecting Groups - Reactions involving selective Protection/Deprotection
* Solid Phase Synthesis - For use in combinatorial synthesis
Further information (with links to the databases) can be viewed at:
http://cds.dl.ac.uk/cds/datasets/orgchem/accelrys/Accordexplorer.html
Access is via the Accord Database Explorer (Windows PC users only). It can be downloaded by logging in then using the Downloads link on the CDS Home page:
http://cds.dl.ac.uk/
You will also need to download and install a cut down version of an Oracle client supplied by CDS.

Beacons for Public Engagement Initiative - survey - UK higher education staff, and researchers
The Beacons for Public Engagement (BPE) initiative was launched by the UK Higher Education Funding Councils, Research Councils UK and the Wellcome Trust in January 2008.
Through building on and refining existing work and development of new practice, the initiative aims to:
* Encourage a change in HE culture as regards engaging with the public.
* Support the development of public engagement across all subject areas and activities.
There are six Beacons for Public Engagement including "Edinburgh Beltane" (Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt, Edinburgh Napier, UHI Millennium Institute, Edinburgh College of Art, Queen Margaret)
This survey is to identify any changes in perceptions relating to public engagement and is for all staff working in UK higher education institutions or UK research institutes or centres.
http://www.oakleighsurveys.co.uk/bpe2010/
Available Monday 15th February to Friday 2nd April 2010.
